Steve-

If total cost really isn't much of an issue, I would
recommend that you consider going with an Epson 1280
printer and the UT2 inkset with CFS system.  This
gives more options and control than the BO printing
method, and the 1280 can be had for quite a bit less
that the 2200.  So, what you save in buying the
printer you can use to buy the UT2 CFS system.

You can still try the BO method with this system as
well, but I think you will be hooked on the results
the UT2 system provides.

Just something to consider.
